boys woke up at 8:45 with some help. J saw 2 stockings... Santa had found them at the hotel. Mom joined us for breakfast after her first night in her new place. Omelettes and waffles all around. Back in the room they opened a few presents in the stocking, mostly clone star wars theme and cartoons on dvd. To mom's house for another load and off to Conway at 12. Stopped at waffle house and Got there at 4. Some confusion about the time, should've tried to get there earlier. Everyone met over at joe and gail's house, first time even tho they live within 15 miles. Saw debi, james, pat, aunt gin, her sis sue, and 2nd cousins tyler, marshall, and benjamin. Gail had a big spread, but everyone was stuffed from previous meals, so we didn't make a dent. Nice visit tho. We left at 8 for a hotel, mom slept there. Not many kids in hotels on christmas, the boys have been troopers on this very atypical holiday. Tomorrow is a 3.5 hour drive back to more moving. Hopefully we'll get it done and the extra things are picked up by the guys in the truck. We're leaving on the 27th and we want to be in good shape for john and amanda when they come back later that day. We plan to rest when we get back to st.louis with any luck. Glad we're with mom this christmas tho. It's been tough on all fronts. Merry christmas, y'all.
